title: Reconstruction of the severely resorbed maxilla with bone grafting and osseointegrated implants: a preliminary report.
abstract: This article describes a surgical procedure for rehabilitation of the severely atrophic maxillary alveolar ridge by bone grafting to the maxillary sinus and nasal floor followed by installation of implants in the grafted regions at a second operation. Five treated cases are presented. Further data are considered necessary to evaluate the procedure before it can be recommended for routine use.
